Ruby I believe the horse in the image with GE is sadly Morgan.
In Louise’s picture of him at the sales if you magnify the picture he has a callus type mark high on his right front leg that is also visible in the GE image.
One point I can’t understand is he had the most beautiful long silver tipped tail but none of it is visible in the image. He was a lovely looking boy in life.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Horses can appear different colours for a variety of reasons: clipping, time of year, general wellbeing, photo quality. I think the ‘callous’ might just be a chestnut, which appears on all four legs of all horses, Triptych, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t be Morgan. If he had just come in from grass, he could appear a lighter colour.
Thanks Louise I’ve often seen that mark on horses but never knew it was called a chestnut.
Such a sad end for Morgan how on earth could anybody disrespect a horse in death like that and there still seems so many unanswered questions.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...This thread has turned into a comedy, i cant even begin to start dissecting the absolute shambles on the last few pages since i last posted, should change the title of this thread to something more fitting, Conspiracies of cullentra house, maybe, as 57 pages later, since theres no evidence of any of the other nonsense written, were now talking about the composition of a dead horse.
Referring to GM’s link and the item within which talks about the BHA possibly banning all horses at Cheltenham trained by Foster, I don’t think that could happen as she herself has done nothing wrong.
However, Elliott should be distanced from the yard and living in alternative accommodation for the length of his suspension as doing his time within Cullentra makes a mockery of his so called punishment.
Perhaps he should go on a statement writing course as he’s obviously sh$t at it.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Great article GZ, thanks for posting, it really made me understand the outcome of the hearing a bit more.
Jac, he really makes a mockery of his “punishment”. You’re 100% right about that. For a trainer whose horses have won around 25 million over the past five years, depression shouldn’t be that much of an issue. If he’s had bouts depression in the past, then probably because his profession is a stressful one.
Maybe sitting on Morgan was his way of showing pain, grief or whatever. If that’s true, then he clearly should pursue a different career. Many people earn a lot less, don’t have his state of the art facilities, his entourage and still don’t become depressive.
So no mention of the IHRB investigating this further to find out the other two people in the photo. Read that Gordon elliot had said he was co-operating fully with the IHRB over this; so you told them the names of the two other people involved then? Can’t really buy the excuse that it was too long ago to remember, as i’d think i’d remember the day i’d sat astride a dead horse and was photographed doing it!
Rob James also just got away with that. Short apology via Twitter or Facebook seems enough nowadays….. Well, I guess he’s no Royal.
At the risk of sending this thread off on yet another tangent, it’s widely reported that Morgan died of an aneurysm. While I am well aware that sloppy reporting is far from unusual, as this is stated as fact (not “suspected” aneurysm) does this mean that a post mortem was held? If so, is this the norm for horses who die off the racecourse (other than those euthanised by a vet due to injury)? Just curious.
The Geezer has done good.
I have a utilitarian attitude to death. It happens remorselessly, I cannot change it, but it does provide useful breathing space and quite honestly I have enough trouble coffin length squeezing past the living on my daily walks, without having to contend with the rattling chain mob. I am far more interested in the muscle jerking living and never understand worried relatives shipping ‘ Our dear departed defarted Johnny ‘ tirelessly around the globe in a fruitless fruit fly minded effort to
purely feed a differently located worm 🐛 in a different patch, on the boy’s already rotting demise.My late mother’s ashes still languish a long eight years on a packed shelf at the back of a funeral director’s office – In the ownership of a man that can easily wash’n go and still raise a barrel laugh like any straw hatted yokel as soon as the clergy have have been slipped their three ponies and bounced off their bottle of sherry. She had zero interest in her ashes but I intend to scatter them in time – mea mea mea culpa mum, and possibly executed so damn late, I shall be rattling my own heavy chains.
While seeing a man using a dead horse as a park bench in no way stirred my morning cornflakes or curdled my milk, I admit there was a huge wrongness to it. It was disrespectful, horrendously hurtful, and big Paul (Ostermeier)’O’ grabbed the best headliningly accurate Elliot epithet – OAFISH.
As for the justices, I will write later on their head banging – or maybe not. What spews out of this mix is, who or what you believe. Prince Harry watching just a few episodes of the Crown ( pull the other one its got our Moe attached with three tiaras full ) or the gargantuan glutton course plus the cheese board to designer shoe boot.
Another certainty is that the celluloid cult hit of Get Carter will not be replaced any time soon with ‘Get Elliot’. Sharp knives a plenty but nothing like as sharp as well honed Meghan californian cutlery and just the one morganite corpse which would barely wake Travolta from a snooze take.
The sun shines – I will stretch my legs, clear my head and embrace what the dead have left of the remaining space outside.
🐛… you’ll put me out of business you oaf – I just love to munch through the well travelled.
I have long since been convinced gamble would happily spontaneously burst into a Morris Dance at a funeral, blissfully unaware of the angst he might be provoking around him.
The Lounge is that way, sir….
